Firefly 302 USB 

Channel Assignment

When  using  a  Digital Audio  Workstation 
on a PC, and within the included Phonic 

Firefly  302  USB  control  panel  software, 

the following names have been attributed 

to the input channels of the Firefly.

If  you  would  like  to  use  the  Firefly  302 

USB as your default audio output device 
on your PC, simply go into the Windows 
control panel and select “Sound and Au-
dio  Devices.”  Select  the  Audio  tab,  and 
use the pull-down menu to select one of 

the Firefly 302 USB’s inputs from the list of 
available output devices. The Firefly 302 

USB can also be selected as the default 
output  device  for  individual  programs  by 
editing said programs’ settings / options.

Operating With DAW Software

After successfully completing the installa-
tion  process,  the  following  process  must 

be  followed  to  work  efficiently  with  the 
Firefly 302 USB.  In the following exam

-

ple, we are using Cubase - however most 
other software should be similar.

1.  

Open the program.

2.  

Go to the ‘Devices’ pull-down menu and 

select ‘Device Setup’. On the left, select 

‘VST Multitrack’.

3. 

From the ASIO Driver drop-down list se-

lect  the  ‘Firefly302USB ASIO  Driver’. A 

pop-up  box  will  ask  you  if  you  want  to 

switch to the ASIO driver. Click ‘Switch’. 

This completes the basic setup.

4. 

The  following  steps  should  be  followed 

to activate audio tracks received from or 

sent by the Firefly 302 USB. 

a. 

Go  to  the  “devices”  pull-down  menu 

and select ‘VST Inputs’. This will dis-

play the various inputs (“Analog In 1”, 

“Analog In 2”, etc.)

b. 

Activate channels by clicking the “Ac-

tive” button located next to each chan-

nel name. 

5.  

For further instructions on the operation 

of  Cubase,  please  consult  the  owner’s 

manual  by  pressing  F1  while  the  pro-

gram is open.

If you wish to reset the Firefly ASIO driver, 

simply  go  to  the  ‘devices’  pull-down  menu 

and select ‘device setup’.  Simply click ‘reset’ 

and select the ‘Firefly302USB ASIO Driver’. 

Click ‘ok’ to continue and the Firefly 302 USB 

should once again become functional.
